Spiritual Growth:
A Contemporary Jewish Approach


Rabbi Paul Steinberg

This book began with Paul Steinberg’s realization that although religions are struggling to meet the needs and trends of our modern age, spirituality is not. Its contemporary manifestations continue to thrive, and Jews can be found throughout all varieties of spiritual leadership in America.

Facing the fact that, for whatever reason, Jewish leaders simply have not done a good job of translating the ancient, spiritual wisdom of their beliefs into contemporary language and images that resonate with mass appeal, Rabbi Steinberg knew that the faith of his fathers was ready for a new spiritual message. And so he has written it—a message that is both particular to Judaism and uses Jewish language and text as starting points for a view that is universal enough to include spiritual concepts, terms, and expressions from many other spiritual traditions.
Spiritual Growth: A Contemporary Jewish Approach provides both a language and a set of Jewish spiritual principles that are accessible and integrated with contemporary life, as well as being deep and authentically real (i.e., not “dumbed down” for anyone). It is a work that emerged out of Rabbi Steinberg’s own personal experiences, pains, and spiritual journey—the trials and growth documented in his highly successful book Recovery, the 12 Steps, and Jewish Spirituality.

There are not a lot of works like this. There are books on Jewish scholarship, history, and theology. But books on Jewish spirituality tend usually to focus on a particular motif, such as the feminine, grief, aging, or Kabbalistic biblical interpretations. Spiritual Growth: A Contemporary Jewish Approach presents its message through the psycho-spiritual world view of 2018 but without the language and narrative of a therapist. It is an important contribution to the spiritual-seeking community at large, to Jews who have become alienated from their faith, and to anyone interested in learning more about what a historically vibrant spirituality can bring to today’s troubled world.

Diving Deep:
Into One Life Awareness

Catherine Weser

Since 1982, when the presence of the spiritual master, inner teacher, and guide known as Dwahl Khul, or DK, entered her life, Catherine Weser has been sharing his teachings with a constantly growing international audience.

Now, in Diving Deep, she combines her own knowledge and creativity with DK’s wisdom of One Life consciousness, channeling this merging of presence and letting go of self-identity. Her new book is a fully integrated blending of Catherine’s fascinating personal journey with DK’s inter-dimensional guidance, and includes powerful affirmations of gifts and resolutions to challenges.

As with Catherine’s many articles and workshops all over the world, all the lessons of Diving Deep are guided by the presence of DK as inner teacher, influencing and guiding the information.

One Life, as Catherine notes, is a non-dual philosophy. To know One Life is to experience all in an awakened state of being. In the One Life, all sentient beings are one. There is no path to the One Life; it is simply here and now.

The King of Trash

Donald Willerton

The plague of homelessness runs through it like a pulsing vein. There is murder—and bodies galore. There is unhesitating genocide. There is an escape from certain death that will haunt you.

And yet The King of Trash is a story of tenderness, of ethical struggle, and of deeply bonded humanity.

In his latest novel—and his first to move beyond the highly successful Mogi Franklin middle-reader mysteries—author Don Willerton intertwines modern-day themes of transcendent importance through a unique and intriguing tale of mystery, adventure, and courage.

Early readers have sometimes had nightmares, but yet The King of Trashis ultimately redeemed by its heart. It begins with a newspaper reporter setting out to interview a former school mate who’s now become one of the world greatest scientists—and one of its richest men. Before long, though, we are enmeshed in a web of awful and expedient “facts” building to a twenty-first-century morality tale in which no one can escape the hard and bitter decisions of the “real” world. And yet at the end, we learn, is the one central truth, the only remnant left to sustain Willerton’s fascinating and vivid characters—and all the rest of us alive on Earth as well.
